In 1939, Evelyn and Leonard Kirsch, a Jewish-American couple, made an extraordinary decision which would change the lives of generations to come. While millions of Jews were trying to escape Germany, Evelyn and Leonard traveled into Nazi-occupied Europe and made arrangements to take a group of forty children back across an ocean to safety. Facing incredible odds, geopolitical dangers, and intimate personal struggles, this well-intentioned couple finds that doing good often carries an unexpected cost.

The playwright of The Glass Piano (2020) and Last Night In Inwood (2023) returns to Boca for her third production at The Lab! After incredibly successful runs at Alliance Theatre, Theatre J, and Jewish Repertory Theatre, we are proud to present the Florida Premiere of this emotionally stirring play inspired by real-life events.

Performances: Thursday-Saturday at 7:30pm, Saturdays & Sundays at 3pm

No Saturday matinee on opening (1/23)
